Upskill Recommendations
$95K avg salary — AI cannot replace trust-based advisory
Algorithmic trading, risk modeling — $130K+ roles
Smart contracts, crypto compliance — massive growth sector
Specific tactics for venture capitalists to stay ahead:
- Move toward advisory and relationship management — AI handles analysis, humans handle trust
- Specialize in AI model governance and explainability for financial compliance
- Develop expertise in alternative data and emerging market analysis where AI data is sparse
- Build expertise in ESG investing, impact finance, and new asset classes with limited AI coverage
- Focus on complex deal-making, M&A advisory, and fund raising — high-stakes human-driven work
